Pelvic floor help please

Hi,after having my sixth child two years ago I have noticed that my pelvic floor is well and truly shot and no amount of excersises are helping,Im not peeing myself or anything like that its just that its certainly not helping in the bedroom department and now my hubby is blaming himself because i cant climax anymore or when i do its absolutely rubbish and very shoet lived! I had been tempted to try a newish thing from Boots but it was really expensive and got really bad reviews and just wondered if anyone had tried anything else that actually works.

I got the i-touch from Amazon it was £50 but it worked a dream - sorted it in about 6 weeks!

I think it is a bit less than the femme elite tens (£60ish from memory) and i had really good reviews - when I look online the boots one had 1 star - but obviously I wouldn't necessarily go by this as the other lady has validated it on her post!

Hi, I am currently waiting for my appointment for pelvic floor physio therapy after i went to the dr because i thought i was having a prolapse or something. If you see your dr about your pelvic floors she will give you an examination and might refer you for physio if you ask her about it. I had no idea that it was available until my dr mentioned it. Also she gave me some pelvic floor exercises to do until i get the referall date. Hope this helps xxx

Thanks i will definately look into that,i too have read the reviews for the boots one and wasnt really sure as quite pricey too,for the other one to work in 6 weeks sounds pretty impressive,thanks for your help.

To be honest i really do not like going to the doctors for stuff like that and i have been doing the pelvic floor exercises often over the last 6 months and have seen no improvement but thanks for your advice anyway.

Hi, I too have the same problem. I went to my doctor who referred me to a physio, and they gave me a machine to use for a few months. It didn't improve things for me and was referred to hospital. A friend also had the same prob and went onto her gp and mentioned the machines you can buy outside, you can also get them on prescription, so might be worth a trip to see the doctor if it'll save you money.

I very seldom go to the doctors but we do pay for prescriptions so if I got one on prescription would it be cheaper than buying one? as with 6 kids i cant really afford to spend £50-£60 on something that may not even work.

I puchased a contraption some years ago and it only made matters worse. I'd see your GP. They are mechanics of the human body and are used to seeing yout undercarriage. They can rule our UTI's and suchlike and may even suggest minor surgery ot other treatments. Weight loss can help if youre a bit on the plump side.

Mine was causing minor incontinence when I coughed sneezed etc. much like when I was pregnant but the gp wouldn't prescribe me one, she did refer me for physio but the appointments were about 10 weeks wait so I got this in the meantime and ended up cancelling the appointment because it was all sorted in that time.

So Unless you have a really sympathetic gp I'm not sure they'll prescribe a machine for the reasons in your op - no offence!
